Started properly the first time, in the right order, with nothing skipped.
“I want to do this properly and I do not know the order.”
There is a correct order to opening a business in Tennessee, and the cost of getting it wrong shows up years later when something does not match. I handle the formation, the EIN, the Secretary of State filing and the Department of Revenue registration, and I tell you which fees are mine and which are the state's before you pay anything. If you have been running as a sole proprietor on your own social security number and you want an LLC, that is the same conversation.
That is the point of having one person. Nothing falls between two people who each thought the other had it.
You will know where the money went, and what to do about it.
02Filed properly, and you will know when they are coming back to you.
04Closed cleanly, so it stays closed and stops costing you.
05The state writes to me instead, and I answer it.
06Documents notarized properly, without adding another errand to your week.
07The written answers to the questions your team keeps asking you.
However far behind it is. The first conversation is free and it is not a sales call.
